APostponement 4 Probable.

From talk among the aldermen it
seams not improbable but that no &C
tion will be taken in regard to accept
ing q bid for laying water mains, at the
council meeting next Monday night. The
feeling among majority Of the members
is that it would be the part Of wisdom to
postpone decisive action in the matter
until after the election which will un-
doubtedly be called this fall under the
provisions Of the local option bill. It is
we'll known that the license money is
what is being depended upon for the
work in fact decisive action was post
poned until after July 1st, because at
that time liquor license must be paid and
from that source it was estimated the
city would then be in possession OF funds
sufficient to begin the development OF the
system as outlined, in the committees re-
port. Several aldermen now take the
ground that inview OF the election, this
is an uncertain revenue. lnasmuch as II
prohibition is voted, the city will be oblig-
ed to refund the pro rata license money
for the unel pired term of such licenses.
The aldermen therefore look at the mat
ter in a business light and think the city
council liable to make great mistake il
they contract an ebtedness relying up
on this uncertain revenue OF license
money to Iquidate the same. The fate OF
the electric light viii probably be simi-
lar one as number of the councilmen
do not see their way clear to contract any
additional indebtedness which they may
be unable to meet.

Sunday school Headquarters.
Rev. Mr.. Ewing, who has charge Of the
Sunday school work for the Boston Sun
day School society, has finally got set
tied in the commodious house formerly
owned by Mr.. Saul, on the north side.
His location here, instead Of Fargo, where
he and his family we're comfortably set
tied, was determined from the ease with
which he could reach every point, by rail,
in North Dakota, and by the considera-
ton of the great decrease in expenses OF
travelling. He estimates the saving in
railroad fare alone in the course Of year
something quite considerable. Mr.. Ew-
ing's work consists in the organization OF
Sunday schools in any neighborhood
where there are sufficient children to get
together for that purpose. In many To-
caities Sunday school can take the
place OF religious exercises desired by
many, whore the population is not suf1i-
cient to warrant church services.
Mr.. Ewing's territory extends into
Montana, and his large field OF labor
keeps him constantly busy. His wife
and her parents, Rev. and Mrs. VIII. AL
worth, who are visiting IN, the territory
are also at present with Mr.. Ewing. His
presence here is very welcome. and hie
selection OF this place as a home only goes
to show the immense advantages James
torn has in way Of central location, rail
road facilities and educational institu.
tions. There are other desirable officers
and representatives Of other institutions
who, in the course Of time, will appreciate
the advantages Of jamestown as head.
quarters and take up their permanent
residence here.

Discussed by the Railroad Commits
sion.
BIsMARcK, June q. The Dakota rail-
road commission met in the capitol yes
terday afternoon; present, Chairman
Gnggs, Abe Boynton, n. T. Smith and
the secretary. The farmers in the vicini-
ty Of Ipswich have asked for a t'Y'' be-
tween the Milwaukee and the Manitoba
roads at Aberdeen, in order that they may
have the advantage Of competition. The
commission requested the officials Of the
Milwaukee road to take the desired &c
ton and received from General Manager
Roswell Miller, the information that the
company did not have the right Of way
for ''Y' at that point. Mr.. Miller says
in his letter that he learns that the pro-
posed ~" is scheme on the part Of Ger
taini interested parties to take the grain
from the Milwaukee road for shipment
over the Manitoba, and asks the commits
gOners if they propose to compel his road
to purchase land for this purpose. The
commissioners will make thorough in
veetigation of the case before taking def
mite action. Another complaint was re-
ceived from citizens Of Aberdeen IN re-
gard to the G. M. & ST. p. depot, which Is
said to be in bad condition, and made
quate to the needs Of the city, General
Manager Miller was requested by the
commission to make the needed improve
ments at ence.
The grain and warehouse law, which
was intended to regulate the manage
ment Of elevators and warehouses in the
territory; was considered by the board,
but nothing will be done until the opin-
ion Of the attorney general on the en-
forcement of the bill is received The
bill requires the board to furnish samples
Of the various grades OF grain to each
warehouse and elevator, as well as to
bond and license the same. It will re-
quire the expenditure OF large amount
of money, but the bill was so amended as
to make no appropriation for the enforce
ment Of the law. His opinion will be
rendered today or tomorrow.
The board will be in session today and
possibly tomorrow. Complaints and re-
quests are coming in from all sections OF
the territory and large amount of work
is now before the COMMISSION.

That Wheat Deal.

EDITOR ALERT: In your issue OF yes
terday is an article headed. "$1.0O per
Bushel or Nothing" Allow me to put q
different version on that statement. In
the first place Mr.. Klaus never offered me
95 cents per bushel, when Russell, Miller
& Co. bought the mill -or any other time.
Five years ago I let Klaus, Fox 4 Go.
have 1000 bushels (not old wheat as Mr..
Klaus claims to mix with his new grain)
but new wheat which his own team drew
from the threshing machine in my field.
I was to receive the going price at the
mill, when called for it. Afterwards l
made demand of 50 cents for it, which
Mr.. Fox refused to give bnt odere me
961% cents for it with 5000 bushels Z had
in my granery at that time. I refused
for the reason they had been paying $l.U
to some other farmer. They claimed
they could ship wheat in from Valley City
and other places at less price but still
they paid $1.OO per bushel at those places.
I never said i would hold the wheat for
$1.OO per bushel, but as said before 1
held the wheat for the reason Mr.. Fox
refused me SO cents but wanted the other
5000 with it at 9811acents. Wheat at that
time was about 81 or SO cents at the ele-
vator. Wheat has been going lower since,
but still expect to receive from Mr..
Klaus SO cents with interest for the ball
ance of the wheat in his hands, when 1
get ready to call for it. let 2. Auber-
tin have 800 bushels Of this wheat at
$1OO which leaves about 700 bushels with
Mr.. Klaus. In the settlement between
Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Klaus, Mr.. Fox allowed
and Mr.. Klaus received $1.OO per bushel
for Mr.. Foxes q share of that wheat.

Gently sent the following Fourth Of July
program, showing how the glorious day
will be observed on the borders Of the
United States, near Mexico. It viii be q
little different from the basket picnic in
grove, and it would seem more properly
corresponds to the enthusiasm, excite
ment and patriotism, which should take
undisputed possession Of the day, after
the immemorial custom Of our ancestors.
The Arizona 4th will have the following
attraction:
HURRH HURRAH!
A grand bull fight will take place dur
ing the feast of San Juan on the 26th
and Goth Of June, and the great Spanish
American festival will end on the Fourth
of July.
The most ferocious bulls that could be
had in this country, Texas cattle, have
been secured from Messrs. Stada & Con
zalez The bull fighting company, con-
sisting Of Messrs. Paso & Yanez, will
spare no expense or personal ability to
make this celebration the most satisfac-
tory one that has ever taken place in
Phoenix.
The pen for securing the bulls has been
substantially constructed, and all up
seats constructed solid SO that no one
need fear their breaking down with the
weight OF one thousand persons.
Come one and all to see the following
program:
June 26, will fight three Bulls.
First. The brass band will commence
playing at 8 o'clock p. m,, some of the
choicest pieces
Second. At 4:3O the clown will appear,
singing and dancing.
Third. Mr. Yanez and his troop of bull
fighters, all young professors IN the art,
who have Just arrived from the interior
OF Mexice, will present themselves at the
bull pen to fight with the ferocious ami
mails by tagging them and sticking into
them various decorations, from which at
the time OF sticking they will bawl and
fee away therefrom. Bombshens will be
exploded, etc, and many more details will
appear in the scene,
Fourth. The last bull will be ridden by
one Of the fighters, for which act he has
received many premiums in the capital of
the republic Of Mexico.
Doors opened at the pen at 8 o'clock,
sharp.

a Wisconsin Town Burned.

\ MILWAUKEE,, June 28. Fire almost
swept the town of Marshfeld out Of ex-
isteRce this afternoon, and 1000 people
are homeless. The loss is not less than
one million. All communication by wire
is cut of and it is almost impossible to
learn particulars. A locomotive spark
started blaze at noon in the lumber
yard of the Upham furniture factory and
it rapidly developed into a. roaring fire
that spread toward the town. Insufficient
protection facilities prevented any resist
ance to the flames, and soon several floor
factories, the business blocks along the
main street, and adjoining residences
were wrapped in flames. The people gath
cred such household effects as they could
and fed to the woods The heat was so
intense that $500 feet of the Wisconsin
Central track, which runs through one
end of the town, was bent and twisted in
the most grotesque shapes. Travel can
not be resumed on this account until to-
morrow, and specials from Stevens Point
and Chippewa Falls conveyed fire engines
to the place, but the fire was beyond all
control. But one store and few half
burned houses remain Of the hourishing
town.

THE. MINNEAPOLIS 8 PACIFIC.

To Cross Near Spiritwood-Survey-
ors Now Near Sanborn-
Repeated and creditable reports come
daily about the progress Of the Minneap-
oils & Pacific road towards Jamestown.
They will build this year to Yorktown, in
Dickey county, or at least, their repre-
sentatives have so declared, and the sur
veys are made. They are now grading in
Sergent county, to Forman, the county
seat, which is about the center Of the
county. Their surveyors have been run
ming lines northwest towards Jamestown
for several weeks, and have been frequent
ly reported from the neighborhood of
Fort Ransom. It was no bluff or skin
game that induced communication to
be sent to property owners. here, asking
If something could not be done to get the
Minneapolis h Pacific to run a branch in
to Jamestown. It is learned that another
effort is now being put forth, to see if any
inducement can be offered in shape Of
depot grounds or the right of way which
will bring about this greatly desired end.
That something should be done soon,
from the following information taken
from the Valley City Times Of yesterday,
seems almost imperative. The Times
says:
We learn from good, reliable authority,
that the surveyors Of the Minneapolis and
Pacific railroad are making the final
survey for an extension of this road from
Forman, in Sargent county, northwest,
and expect to cross the Northern Pacific
at a point between Eckelson and Spirit
wood. The surveyors are at present
about ten miles south of SanbOrn, at
Wasa It is said that work has already
begun on the east end and it is expected
that the road viii be in operation before
winter.
jamestown cannot afford to have this
direct connection and an Independent
| railroad, to St. Paul and the east, cross
the Northern Pacific east or west Of this
place within ten miles. If all sectional.
ism be dropped and united effort
made with the proper parties, it is not i'm.
probable but that the new road will give
| it due attention, and defect it's line thif
way. A pull all together, is what will
count now.
